Yes, of course one could do that manually for all subports, but I doubt
that many (new) people will do that several times for all sub-ports and/or
variants... For example, in our PR instructions it says to "check your
Portfile with {{{port lint}}}" and that is also what the CI tests do
(admittedly, the CI tests will just fail later on when trying to install a
sub-port with missing dependencies).
I think it would make {{{port lint}}} more user-friendly and at the same
time increase the chances of catching errors; but if there would be
consensus that this is unneeded, fine with me.
